Wrong choice of main camera among multiple cameras

Question

Hello! I often run into the following issue. I have multiple cameras in in my scene. All except the one tagged MainCamera are Untagged. The problem is that for some of the untagged cameras the scene renders in-game not through the MainCamera but through them. I have to disable or delete them in order to render through the main camera.

Yet other untagged cameras work fine and don't cause issues. I have tried moving the cameras up and down the hierarchy, changing their names and assigning them different tags but the problem persists.

This is getting quite annoying because I need the auxiliary cameras for some calculations and don't want them disabled.

Any ideas?

As Lo0NuhtiK said, I think you just have to go to the camera settings, and set the depth of the problematic camera to a lower number than the main camera.

MainCamera is "just a name for the camera".. This doesn't mean it will be rendered on-screen no mather what.

You can also set the camera "Normalized View Port Rect" weigth & height to 0, so it won't show up on your screen.

It worked! It was the depth setting after all, I haven't noticed it before. Thank you very much, Lo0Nuhti$$anonymous$$ and StylizeR!
